No striker -> New Manager next summer
Best to rent mate. No need to waste time painting. Or waste time on painting analogies.
We've signed a stack of players who all play in exactly the same position
There are a couple of issues with that strategy though.
Firstly, it's hugely ambitious. Only 12 players got 15 or more goals in the league last year, expecting 3 of our players to achieve that is a massive ask.Expecting a midfielder to come over to the premier league and score as many as he did in Holland is asking a huge amount of the lad. Sandro is 21, only has 1 season of regular football behind him and really looks quite raw to me - I think 10 goals would be a really good return for him this year. Even Rooney has only got more than 12 once in the last 5 years.
Secondly, even if they did all get 10-15, it would only match the contribution of the front players from last year. We need more goals, not just to replace Lukaku's. A reliable 15+ goal striker is a must in my opinion. Fingers crossed we'll get one.
Ivan Strinic of Napoli linked, Croatian international left back.
Thoughts?
